  1. 1. Voices in the Arena: A Participation-Centred Study of Multivocal Risk and Crisis Communication on Social Media

    Författare :Pavel Rodin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; risk and crisis communication; social media; online participation; Ebola; vaccination;

    Sammanfattning : Contemporary risk and crisis communication take place in a complex multiplatform and multivocal environment, where numerous social media foster and facilitate online participation. Lay social media users are thus able to create, maintain, and share their own crisis narrative(s), which exist alongside official information and media reports. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Behavioral surveillance during and after the 2014–2016 Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone

    Författare :Mohamed Falilu Jalloh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The first documented case of Ebola Virus Disease (Ebola) in Sierra Leone was confirmed in May 2014 in Kailahun district after cases had been reported in Guinea and Liberia. Ebola is transmitted through contact with infected blood, stool, and other bodily fluids. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Contagious (mis)communication : the role of risk communication and misinformation in infectious disease outbreaks

    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The largest outbreak of Ebola virus disease in history happened between 2014-2016 in West Africa. In Sierra Leone, one of the three most affected countries, more than 14,000 people got infected and almost 4,000 died. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Padlock Probe-Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests : Point-of-care Diagnostics of Infectious Diseases

    Författare :Sibel Ciftci; Mats Nilsson; Jonas Klingström; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nucleic Acid Amplification; Isothermal Amplification Methods; Padlock Probes; Rolling Circle Amplification; Molecular Diagnostics; Infectious Disease Diagnostics; Virus; Point-of-Care; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Recent advancements in molecular biology and biotechnology have pushed the field of molecular diagnostics much further to benefit the society towards smart access for rapid and simplified health care. In this context, point-of-care (PoC) technologies that bring the inventions in diagnostics closer to bedside settings draw attention. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Development of an Ultrasensitive Capacitive DNA-sensor: A promising tool towards microbial diagnostics

    Författare :Ally Mahadhy; Bioteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Capacitive DNA-sensor; Enterobacteriaceae; mecA gene; Methicillin resistance; automated sequential injection analysis; sandwichhybridization; elevated temperature; polytyramine;

    Sammanfattning : Fast and sensitive detection of pathogenic microbial cells is a highly important task in medical diagnostics, environmental analysis and evaluation of food safety. Accordingly, the idea of microorganism identification by the recognition of specific DNA sequence using electrochemical technique is one of the leading researches in the development of diagnostic devices.
